Your SC is the Sri Utama SC in Setapak rite? I tot the wash is free?

Aiks..you bought your car at Sri Utama..car wash freeeeeeeee leh!!!!

Oh liddat ah? Shouldn't do liddat la...people spend a lot to fix up their cars. Kautim free wash la

honda engines already have a high compression ratio.

So what are you suggesting? High cams, high revving engine? Possible but gotta do a lot of work leh The safest bet is supercharger lah. For me, driven a City before, the car is quite zippy to start with

another way would be BOT it? about 7k, reliable, easier, convenient?

ya...y need to change blower filter??

it is zippy as the engine is designed to give you maximum torque at 2.5k rpm.
thats why when your tyres botak it is quite easy to do wheel spins
but it doesn't really have any high-end power as a trade-off.
really fast moving thru from 0-120kmh after that its pretty sedated.
don't think you can convert it into a high revver as it is not designed to do so.

nycs82, i dont have to pay for any services done from 0 to 40k wor.. could be there a mistake leh?

n bout the superchange + turbocharge thingy.. i rather "ikat perut" and get something powerfull @ default i.e RX8..

but to me, i prefer upgrade my CT to Stream or Odyssey.. new or used also can.. not a power hunger maa..

ok guys,

Collected my CT in the morning after 2 days inside for CVT gearbox replacement.
Cost RM17,118,82 IF i had to pay lar, but since it was on warranty,
no payment made

Item replaced with Jazz Transmission. Will post more on the CVT later today.

Rm 17k....

new gearbox replacement smooth ride?

my car also now need 25k service...actually it's already 26k btw my car was bought Jan 2006...u 2005 rite? u dont drive much izzit

16/1/07 RM2k ++ for insurance

meaning new gearbox and changed rite before the 3year warranty..new stuff =

btw, im planning to send my ride to the SC soon...my Q is..if I ask them to fix my fog lights will they charge me? the story goes like this....I've changed my whole front bumper to a new one....and now my fog lamps are going up/higher then my headlights I want them to fix/adjust the fog lamp directions....would they charge? one more thing my bonet is leaking....can feet wet inside after raining days.....i suspect it's the rubber thing...would they change it FOC?

Sri Utama give free car wash ka? ... I duno leh ... alwiz hav2 pay 1 if wanted to wash ... dun really know a lot of ppl there ma ... the guy who attended to me was Liu i think ... sumtimes this Muzafar guy ... But shud oso free car wash hor ... RM450 man!!!

BTW, I didnt get my car frm them oso ... Not like Taiko myDelsol ... sampai GM layan

The aircon blower filter is duno wat carbon filter. They say its bcoz the "Ambipur" liquid got sucked in n it had an acid effect towards the filter worr so hav2 replace new 1 and this item is not in the "warranty" list ...

Aircon servicing usually I heard they charge so I went ahead lo. Dammit ... now have to eat bread for 1 whole month! Shake the Pepsi and subtitutes is as the champagne for new year ...

depend how sweet talk u are...else will be charged (but wont be expensive)

The LOW down so far after collecting the "new CVT" replaced City Vtec:-

so for my wife has NOT complained any sort of lags/jerking problems while out on the compulsory lunch time drive out with her staffs. and she did say
slightly feel better(u know woman drivers lar, all the same wan)

To answer some of the questions:-

Yes, my car was bought on Sept 2004, current mileage, 40655km,
warranty expiry is Sept 2007 after that, koyak....
low mileage due to daily driven by wife only, weekends use other car

Yes I know the GM of the company personally, I also know the CEO/MD/COO and Marketing Manager of Honda Malaysia as well, BUT that does not mean anything cuz at the end of the day, Im just another regular client of theirs with a complaint

my advise to all City 2004 owners be it IDSI/Vtec get your car thoroughly checked
BEFORE you hit your 40,000 FREE service or 3rd year warranty, cuz i doubt
any of us here would like to fork out RM17K for the gearbox!!!
my last statement above, does not intend to scare off anyone be it new or
current owners, am just advising only wokey

p/s my new picture is actually me, test driving the new BMW Z4, cool
car, wayyyy to expensive....but wat a drive....hit 260 sap sap suiiii

i am back peepz

How to check the car properly? Any significant sign of the CVT wearing off?

P/S : I'm still waiting for my new City Vtec to arrive, ask this Q simply because I want to know more, or could it be too busy body? Haha....

Perhaps too much revving on 7speed mode will kill CVT faster

I believe everything will WEAR & TEAR....
